You can relax, the hard part is over. You've already purchased and brought the candle home. First, find a cozy new spot for the candle. Bathroom? Living Room? Bedside? Fortunately, there is no wrong answer.

Now that we've found the candles proper home, let's make sure you know how to properly burn and care for the candle to ensure the best (and longest) possible experience.

Step 1:

Light the wood wick evenly, spreading the flame across the top from side to side until properly and evenly lit.

Step 2:

Burn for at least two hours to start. This helps the wick and wax get into rhythm.

Step 3:

After each burn, clip the ash off the top of the wick to ensure a proper burn the next time.

That's it! Check out more important tips and warnings below!
